Gamma Backgrounds for Experiments at the High Flux Isotope Reactor
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Baldenegro +53
This article describes the deployment of a germanium detector at Oak Ridge National Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for the purpose of understanding the energy and spatial d…
Probing Long-Lived Particle Production in Muon Decays at the SNS with a Highly Capable Hydrocarbon Detector
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +43
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a prolific muon producer, making it an ideal location for studying dark sector particles produced in…
Neutrino monitoring of explosions for excluding fission yield
O. Benevides Rodrigues, N. S. Bowden, R. Carr +18
Nuclear fission produces neutrinos, so the absence of a neutrino signal can be used to set a limit on the fission content of an explosion. This capability could be employed on form…
A prototype reactor-antineutrino detector based on Li-doped pulse-shaping-discriminating plastic scintillator
O. Benevides Rodrigues, E. P. Bernard, N. S. Bowden +26
An aboveground 60-kg reactor-antineutrino detector prototype, comprised of a 2-dimensional array of 36 Li-doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator bars, is described.…
CONFLUX: A Standardized Framework to Calculate Reactor Antineutrino Flux
Xianyi Zhang, Anosh Irani, Michael P. Mendenhall +6
Nuclear fission reactors are abundant sources of antineutrinos. The flux and spectrum of antineutrinos emitted by a reactor can indicate its activity and composition, suggesting po…
Machine Learning for Single-Ended Event Reconstruction in PROSPECT Experiment
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +43
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, PROSPECT, was a segmented antineutrino detector that successfully operated at the High Flux Isotope Reactor in Oak Ridge,…
Remeasurement of the Pu(n,f)/U(n,f) Cross-Section Ratio with the NIFFTE fission Time Projection Chamber Using Vapor-deposited Targets
D. H. Dongwi, L. Snyder, V. Aguilar +17
The NIFFTE fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) has been used to measure the Pu(n,f)/U(n,f) cross-section ratio for neutron-induced fission in the range of…
Reactor Antineutrino Directionality Measurement with the PROSPECT-I Detector
M. Andriamirado, B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +46
The PROSPECT-I detector has several features that enable measurement of the direction of a compact neutrino source. In this paper, a detailed report on the directional measurements…
Final Search for Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations with the PROSPECT-I Detector at HFIR
M. Andriamirado, B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +44
The PROSPECT experiment is designed to perform precise searches for antineutrino disappearance at short distances (7 - 9~m) from compact nuclear reactor cores. This Letter reports…
Performance of large-scale 6Li-doped pulse-shape discriminating plastic scintillators
C. Roca, N. S. Bowden, L. Carman +11
A Li-doped plastic scintillator with pulse-shape discrimination capabilities, commercially identified as EJ-299-50, has been developed and produced at the kilogram-scale. A tot…
Final Measurement of the U235 Antineutrino Energy Spectrum with the PROSPECT-I Detector at HFIR
M. Adriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +61
This Letter reports one of the most precise measurements to date of the antineutrino spectrum from a purely U235-fueled reactor, made with the final dataset from the PROSPECT-I det…
Calibration strategy of the PROSPECT-II detector with external and intrinsic sources
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +58
This paper presents an energy calibration scheme for an upgraded reactor antineutrino detector for the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT). The PROSPEC…
